Silent Hill 2 Remake Advertisement Appears in Shibuya

Konami Digital Entertainment announced that it has placed a physical advertisement booth for its upcoming remake of Silent Hill 2 in Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan. The company also designed the booth to be regularly updated with a more eerie appearance every night until September 24, 2024.

People can find the advertisement booth near the MAGNET by SHIBUYA109 building. When the company just placed the booth on September 18, 2024, it simply showed James Sunderland walking through clean walls. The daily updates will gradually add rust to the walls, and the climactic update on September 24, 2024, will eventually add a monstrous creature on the other side. The Japanese text that appears in the middle can be translated to “That fear will eat into your world as well.”

Even though the Silent Hill 2 remake is also slated to appear worldwide on PCs via Steam, the Japanese advertisement only lists the PS5 as its platform. Several Japanese gaming companies still have a habit of omitting PC platforms in favor of consoles, but some of them are also gradually embracing the PC platform, such as Bandai Namco with its Dragon Ball games on Steam.

This Shibuya advertisement will not be the only booth Konami places to promote the Silent Hill 2 remake. The company will also set up a theater stage themed after the game at its Tokyo Game Show 2024 booth. People who enter the stage and watch the trailer there will receive a set of five stickers featuring James and the hostile creatures.

Konami will release the Silent Hill 2 remake for PlayStation 5 and PC on October 8, 2024. The Silent Hill 2 remake advertisement in Shibuya is available to view until September 30, 2024.
